Well, I wouldn't raise the flop, your hand is very vulnerable at this point and really not that strong at all, top pair of 8's with A kicker and a horribly draw-heavy board. In this kind of position I might have even folded, but at best I'd call. What does a raise get you except a huge pot you can't control?

The turn card is about the worst you could have had, because it completed any flush draws as well as giving you two pair. But you can probably call as you have the outs to fill up.

Look for a cheap showdown here - this should be your #1 prerogative with a marginal hand like this.

(PS I am sure some will say fold preflop, but you're on the button deep-stacked so it's not so bad)

Oh and don't raise the river, both the flush and straight draws have now got there, he won't call with any hand you beat. In fact, I'd fold this for sure for $300, but the pot wouldn't be so big with my line, so might call a small bet, it depends.
